[PMID: 35252190 PMCID: PMC8894714 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.822772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are able to modulate the immune response and are used for treating ulcerative colitis (UC). However, it is possible that ADSCs from patients with inflammatory or autoimmune disorders may show defective immunosuppression. We investigated the use of ADSCs from UC patients for autologous cell treatment, specifically, ADSCs from healthy donors (H-ADSCs) and UC patients (P-ADSCs) in terms of various functions, including differentiation, proliferation, secretion, and immunosuppression. The efficacy of P-ADSCs for treating UC was examined in mouse models of acute or chronic colitis. Both H-ADSCs and P-ADSCs were similar in cell morphology, size, adipogenic differentiation capabilities, and cell surface markers. We found that P-ADSCs had lower proliferative capacity, cloning ability, and osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential than H-ADSCs. P-ADSCs exhibited a diminished capacity to inhibit peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation, suppress CD25 and CD69 marker expression, decrease the production of inflammation-associated cytokines interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α, and reduce their cytotoxic effect on A549 cells. When primed with inflammatory cytokines, P-ADSCs secreted lower levels of prostaglandin E2, indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, and tumor necrosis factor-α–induced protein 6, which mediated their reduced immunopotency. Moreover, P-ADSCs exhibited weaker therapeutic effects than H-ADSCs, determined by disease activity, histology, myeloperoxidase activity, and body weight. These findings indicate that the immunosuppressive properties of ASCs are affected by donor metabolic characteristics. This study shows, for the first time, the presence of defective ADSC immunosuppression in UC, indicating that autologous transplantation of ADSCs may be inappropriate for patients with UC.

Quantification and Comprehensive Analysis of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Bone Marrow Samples from Sickle Cell Disease Patients with Osteonecrosis. Stem Cells Int 2020; 2020:8841191. [PMID: 33299424 PMCID: PMC7710439 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8841191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The potential use of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) for the treatment of osteonecrosis in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients is increasing. However, convenient BM-MSC quantification and functional property assays are critical factors for cell-based therapies yet to be optimized. This study was designed to quantify the MSC population in bone marrow (BM) samples from SCD patients with osteonecrosis (SCD group) and patients with osteoarticular complications not related to SCD (NS group), using flow cytometry for CD271+CD45-/low cell phenotype and CFU-F assay. We also compared expanded BM-MSC osteogenic differentiation, migration, and cytokine secretion potential between these groups. The mean total cell number, CFU-F count, and CD271+CD45-/low cells in BM mononuclear concentrate were significantly higher in SCD than in NS patients. A significant correlation between CD271+CD45-/low cell number and CFU-F counts was found in SCD (r = 0.7483; p = 0.0070) and NS (r = 0.7167; p = 0.0370) BM concentrates. An age-related quantitative reduction of CFU-F counts and CD271+CD45-/low cell number was noted. Furthermore, no significant differences in the morphology, replicative capacity, expression of surface markers, multidifferentiation potential, and secretion of cytokines were found in expanded BM-MSCs from SCD and NS groups after in vitro culturing. Collectively, this work provides important data for the suitable measurement and expansion of BM-MSC in support to advanced cell-based therapies for SCD patients with osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have various properties that make them promising candidates for stem cell-based therapies in clinical settings. These include self-renewal, multilineage differentiation, and immunoregulation. However, recent studies have confirmed that aging is a vital factor that limits their function and therapeutic properties as standardized clinical products. Understanding the features of senescence and exploration of cell rejuvenation methods are necessary to develop effective strategies that can overcome the shortage and instability of MSCs. This review will summarize the current knowledge on characteristics and functional changes of aged MSCs. Additionally, it will highlight cell rejuvenation strategies such as molecular regulation, non-coding RNA modifications, and microenvironment controls that may enhance the therapeutic potential of MSCs in clinical settings.
